Chevrolet Corvette: News, Reviews and Pricing

The Chevrolet Corvette is the original American sports car, serving as a competitor to the greatest performance cars from around the world since the 1950s. The new C8 Corvette is expected to be unveiled on July 18th. The 7th and latest generation of Corvette has really put GM back on top in regards to being America’s sports car. It completely redesigned the interior using much better quality materials and making it feel as good as it looks.

The C7 Corvette lineup consists of 4 models. The Stingray, Grand Sport, Z06, and ZR1. Each one increases in horsepower, handling, and aerodynamics as you move up the models. The Nürburgring track times were recently released for all 4 of these models with the fastest one being the ZR1 which lapped the ring in 7:04. Jim Mero (previous suspension engineer for GM) stated the ZR1 could have had a 6:59 second if he was able to drive the car on properly warmed tires. This time puts the C7 Corvette ZR1 into supercar territory.

Here at Torque News, we cover the Corvette extensively and have the latest news and information on each Corvette model made by Chevrolet. Here is a list of the complete Corvette lineup and U.S. base MSRP for each model.

  • 2019 Corvette Stingray starts at: 56,995.00

As you may or may not have heard the C8 Corvette is here and some have been worried about the cost of maintenance due to the fact this is a mid engine car but fear not, the latest round of images seem to suggest a DIY approach to oil changes.

The C8 Corvette is in fact, not sold out. GM recently went on record and said that the new 2020 C8 Corvette was selling "fantastically" and at a record pace, but they absolutely wished the original statement of, the C8 Corvette being sold out, had not been made.

Many of Torque News readers already know that the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette will not have a manual transmission. I think, it's partly generational and partly a dealership issue. Here is why. By the way according to a GM source, the 2020 C8 Corvette has already hit the first year of production numbers with pre-orders, but is not sold-out as reported by number of automotive news outlets.

In 2002, Cadillac celebrated 100 years of building cars by building a special mid-engine, supercar concept car: the Cien. Now 17 years after the Cien concept's unveiling, Cadillac could actually realize the dream of the Cien concept using the mid-engine 2020 Corvette Stingray as it's core platform.

We just had the reveal of the impressive 2020 C8 Corvette, with it’s 495HP V8, and equally impressive sub-$60K starting price. Rumors are that Chevy will follow up with a Z06 version with a twin turbo V8 making around 700HP about 1 year after the new Corvette hits the showrooms. Also, there are more rumblings of an even more powerful ZR-1/Zora model with 1000HP using the Z06’s TT V8 combined with a pair of electric motors up front.

After last night’s debut of the mid-engine 2020 C8 Chevrolet Corvette, there have been plenty of negative comments on social media, but this car represents a major step in the evolution of the American sports car – and it will likely destroy European exotics at a fraction of the price.
